I will definitely not be buying one of these if there is no traditional 6 speed transmission offered! Is it paddle shift only?

And way to proof read the article…
Mizuno’s numbers are impressive: 3.5 seconds to 60 mph (in 110-degree weather, no less), 11.7 seconds to the quarter mile at **a t rap speed of 149.1 mph**. He says the GT-R will tear up the skidpad to the tune of 0.99 g – even on 20-inch run flats – and stop from 60 mph in only 111.5 feet. Top speed is targeted at 192.6 mph, though it will be governed to 186 mph. Notable, however, iss that while these stats beat his 911 Turbo numbers and those recorded by other magazines, they don’t beat ours.
That has to be a typo on the trap speed?!

Seems like it’s paddle shit only… :tdown:
Unless Nissan says something else in the next few months.

Yeah It must be. That article claims things that Nissan hasn’t said yet, like:
_If the recently released Japanese pricing information is any indication, it appears the Nissan GT-R will soundly thrash the 911 Turbo and most supercars in the value category. In Japan, the entry-level GT-R starts at $57,000 while V-spec trim adds $10,000 more. That lighter-weight, 530-horsepower Evo-spec model jumps to $94,000-exceptionally dear for a Nissan-but over $25,000 lower than the 911 Turbo. U.S._
Nissan hasn’t announced US pricing or this rumored EVO-Spec.

Dessert and all-weather driving videos are up on the website. It shows the car running in the snow. :tspry:

All the guys on the big Porsche forum are hating on the car, it’s hysterical.

Oh man.
The turbine housings are cast into the manifold.
The miles of driveshafts…AIIIIIIIII YAHHHHHHHHHHH!
It might be quick at stock levels but I don’t give the drivetrain much life above those levels.
This thing looks like a fucking nightmare to work on…I hope I will never have to work on one.
I dug a little deeper and I was able to find a technical drawing of the powertrain. These engineers must have pulled some long hours!!!
